Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), offering guaranteed rural employment, was enacted in 2005 during Manmohan Singh's prime ministership. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) and demonetization of high-value currency followed later, under different administrations, while the Make in India initiative began in 2014. Hence, the correct response is NREGA.
